Chapter 12 There is still a scholar teaching in the family

Old man Shen was secretly proud of himself, but he didn't show it on his face.After a pause, he continued:

"There are nearly [-] people in our family. Everyone is pointing to the harvest in this field, and we will be able to survive next year. Therefore, the things in this field cannot be sold, and the land cannot be sold." sold."

In a word, I gave everyone a reassurance.Everyone lowered their heads again, listening to old man Shen's words.Old man Shen took a look, and said again:

"In a word, we still only have to borrow money. Everyone knows the situation in our Shenjia Village now, and there are not many people who can lend us money. The money Chengzu asked for this time is not a decimal, it is ten taels of silver. No family in Shenjia Village would lend us so much money. I have no other choice. Then you all have to figure out a way. Boss, Chengzu is your son, so you will take the lead. You can find a way to pay four taels The second child and the third child each give three or two."

Look at the sons who are all looking at themselves with nothing on their faces.Old man Shen also let out a sigh of relief.Whispered:

"If it really doesn't work, you all go back to your mother's house to borrow."

It seems that old man Shen wants to borrow money from his in-laws, and instead of going out on his own, let his sons do it.In the end, have each family pay back their own?

Hong Shi was also dumbfounded when he heard that.My mother's family knows it.Although he is domineering in the Shen family now.But in her natal family, she was a worm.I know who my parents are, but I don't know what my brothers and sisters are like?Borrow money by yourself?It's good not to scratch yourself!
Hong shi pulled his lips and still didn't make a sound.Lan Shi stood up first and said:

"Father, you also know my natal family. Our family is an outsider. In Liangjia Village, our family can't eat enough. Where do you ask me to borrow three taels of silver? This is a matter for the eldest nephew, and it should be resolved by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. !"

As soon as Lan's words fell, old man Shen's expression turned ugly.The three in-laws don't know it yet?I'm afraid only the third son's Yue family can borrow it.The one of the old family, I didn't like it at first, if I didn't owe favors back then, I wouldn't have found such a woman to be my eldest daughter-in-law!

The second child is a relocated household who wandered to Liangjia Village because of a disaster in his hometown. On the day he arrived in Liangjia Village, a family member in the village happened to be out of water.The members of the Lan family had suffered disasters themselves, so they knew the consequences of the disaster. The Lan family was quick to find out and rescue people quickly.

Because of this, the people of Liangjia Village agreed with them to settle down in Liangjia Village.At first, they planted by renting some land, but now the family has only bought a good field, and the rest are lands that they reclaimed by themselves, and there is no harvest for a year.Mainly rely on the income from planting land to live.

It was also the second child who went there to work as a helper, and fell in love with Lan's ability to work.Old man Shen also saw that Lan's family would not ask for any betrothal gifts, so he set up a home for his second child.But this Yue family can't be counted on.

The Yue family of the third eldest family has a good family background.It's just that the whole family is smart people.Only this daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liang, is a little more honest.The Liang family is the home of the village head of Liangjia Village, and the house is full of tall green tile houses.Old man Shen has been to his in-laws' place twice, but he won't go now.Because I went there, I felt that I had no face at all.Nothing can compare to other people's homes.Even if there is a child born in the family, so what, there is still a scholar teaching in the family now.

Old Shen was not happy when he heard Lan's words, but he hadn't spoken yet.Hong shi yelled.Originally, Hong himself was against going back to her natal family to borrow money, but now that Lan brought it up, she seemed to be stepping on her tail.Hong jumped up all of a sudden, pointed at Lan and cursed:
"Second daughter-in-law. What are you talking about? Chengzu is the eldest grandson of this family. When you die and are buried in the ancestral tomb of the Shen family, this eldest grandson will not be allowed to burn incense and offer offerings to you? The family has not yet been separated. You can distinguish so clearly, seeing that you usually don’t speak, it turns out that you have so many thoughts! Chengzu’s affairs are the Shen family’s affairs, and everyone in the Shen family should help Chengzu.”

Lan Shi actually knew that he was in a hurry when he said the truth.The last sentence should not have been said.Anyway, if you say that your natal family has no money, you can get it.Now he was scolded by the Hong family because of this.I still can't say it myself.Because it is true that the family has not yet been separated, but what the old man said just now means that each family should pay for it. Isn't this borrowing the money back and separating the accounts in advance?

Now that the Hong family is making such a fuss, it is difficult for the Lan family to speak up.Because she also saw that old man Shen's complexion was not very good.Lan's didn't want to cause too much trouble, because his eldest son Chengye had also entered school.Maybe it will cost money later on.Lan shi quietly lowered her head, didn't speak again, and let Hong shi point at her nose and scold.

The more Hong shi let her go, the more proud she would be.Pointing and pointing, he brought his finger to Lan's face.Shen Erzhu couldn't stand it anymore.stood up and said:
"Sister-in-law, that's enough! Ye'er didn't say anything wrong. We can't afford any more money. We can only do this little farm work. When it comes to money, our hard-earned money was included in the grain sold last time. Isn’t it all given to Chengzu?”

Shen Erzhu's words made old man Shen a little bit embarrassed, and old man Shen's face became even darker.Turning to look at Shen Sanzhu who didn't speak, said:

"Third, what do you say?"

Shen Sanzhu also said in a deep voice:
"Father, I also think it's unreasonable for you to make such a division. I'm not going to say it nicely. The second brother and I have a young child, so we will have to spend money in the future. Will the elder brother's family help us raise the child in the future? Besides , I won’t go back to my mother’s house to borrow money, and I can’t say that. My father-in-law’s house is better off, but this, father, how do you teach me how to say it? I won’t go, mother Xue’er Also went no, she is still in confinement."

Shen Sanzhu's words completely angered old man Shen.Old man Shen slapped the table with his palm and said:
"Hmph! You've all grown up. Each of you has your own thoughts. I'm not dead yet! I'm still in control before the family is divided! Chengzu is the child you watched growing up. Yes. Now he is a bit promising and has a bright future. You all don’t want to help? Don’t you have any honor when he is admitted? Think about it, if he is admitted next year. Our family The land is rent-free. That’s a lot of income. In the future, if your children are talking about marriage, don’t you still have to be a bit of a scholar? Now you are so fussy. You only think about getting rich in the future? no way!"
